On March 2, 2017, the California Supreme Court unanimously held that public officers’ and employees’ communications on personal devices and accounts concerning “the conduct of public business” may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (PRA). This is a significant decision impacting entities subject to the PRA, which may include charter schools.
